Our church planned a day to pack meals for Haiti. It is a great program where 40 people can pack 10,000 meals in 2 hours. I was able to arrange for Bennett's lacrosse team to come work for 2 hours. It was a fantastic time for the boys to do some community service and have fun too. Cameron brought 2 friends as well and Tess had her friends there too. Everyone gets to help others!! It was a total success and our group packed 25,000 meals!! there were 112,000 meals packed throughout the day!! If you are interested in doing this at your church or any organization-contact me!

snowmobiling !!!!!










What a fantastic day snowmobiling in the back country in Utah! It was just so majestic. We passed so many families driving in to cut down their Christmas trees. It was a beautiful scene.
I feel so blessed to have had such a great week with Jeff and the kids at our ranch!! I am very thankful indeed!!
